Free Service Provided: (Software Audit)
Why is software audit important?
A software audit provides a complete inventory of the software deployed on all computers in your business, providing valuable insights into the productivity, security & potential liability for your company. Installed software that is poorly written, too intensive performance-wise or simply takes up space can hamper the performance of hardware. The more software installed, the more likely it is that there will be performance issues, but that is not the only problem. It also increases the potential for security vulnerabilities. An audit will also find any unlicensed or under licensed software that could lead to hefty fines for license violations. (If you are interested in receiving a software audit, please feel free to contact us.)
Flat Rate Services Provided: (Hardware Recycling)
Why is it necessary?
Leaving old hardware around is a recipe for disaster. Or at least a data breach which may be a disaster you may not have thought about. Retired hardware also needs to stay retired. It was taken out of production for a reason. The temptation of putting something back in production, “just for now” can lead to inferior performance or data loss. Prompt and proper hardware recycling is paramount for security. The data needs to be securely destroyed with verification both for thoroughness and to meet many of today's compliance standards, including cyber liability insurance needs.

Projects Provided: (Data Archiving)
Why is it important?
Data archiving is vital for businesses. GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability), SOX (Sarbanes Oxley), and FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) compliances all require that certain data be kept for various periods of time. Do you know how long you are legally required to keep your data? Determining what data to keep and for how long it is key. Once that has been reviewed, putting an automated data archiving solution in place can take the complexity out of staying compliant. It can also save on data storage expenses. Often, great archiving solutions cost less than production (in use) data storage. Archived data is accessed less frequently and does not need to be as responsive as production data, lowering the price of such a solution when compared to production storage.
